LADYS GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 18, 1917.

Application filed October 6, 1917. Serial No. 195,055.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JENNIE G. FOWLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ladies Garments, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates generally to garments for ladies wear, and more particularly tov a semi-undergarment for the protection of the arms in cold weather, under crape, chiffon, and lace waists, or beneath other gauzy material, my object being the provision of warmth giving arm coverings in the nature of tight fitting sleeves, having extensions adapted to be connected across the body of the wearer in order to firmly hold the sleeves in position in use.

In describing -my invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing, illustrating the preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating the practical application of my present inventlon.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation, and

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view illustrating certain portions of the garment.

Referring now to these figures, my invention contemplates the provision of a garment for ladies wear, consisting of a pair of tight fitting sleeve sections 10 and 11, which are .preferably formed of woven material to secure the desired snugness as to fit, and which are preferably utilized of flesh colored silk and the like, in order to render the same invisible so far as possible, this invisibility being further induced by a skin tight fit.

The upper portions of the sleeves 10 and 11, are flared outwardly into, and provided with, front and rear relatively narrow extensions 12 and 13, arranged to extend across the front and rear portions of the body of the wearer as clearly seen by reference to Figs. 1 and 2, and having detachable fastening means at their extremities, in the form,

for instance,.of glove fasteners 14 whereby the extensions may be readil connected in detachable relation, when'deslred, the upper and lower edges of the extensions 12 and 13, having suitable means as for instance, trimming 15, forming gu1des for upper and lower draw-strings 16 and 17 extending continuously along the said upper and lower edges, and having terminals at the extremities of both the front and rear extensions, whereby When fastened by means of the fasteners 14, the edges of the sleeve extensions may be drawn into close-fitting relation to the body of the wearer so as to conceal so far as possible, the presence of the garment my invention proposes.

It is obvious that a garment of this nature may be used effectively and with considerable comfort in cold weatherbeneath crape, chiffon, lace and other waists of thin or gauzy material, and that by knitting the same of soft silk as nearly as possible flesh colored, the presence thereof will hardly be noticed.

It is obvious, furthermore, that a garment such as proposed by my invention can he slipped on for the above purposes without adding to the bulk of garments around the waist, or spoiling the effect of a fancy neck finish.

I claim:

1. A garment for ladies wear consisting of a pair of substantially full length closefitting sleeve sections having relatively narrow front and rear extensions at their upper ends provided with means along the marginal edges thereof, forming guides, and

draw-strings extending through said guides to adj ustably connect the said extensions.

, 2. A garment for ladies wear consisting of a pair of close-fitting sleeve sections flared at their upper portions to form chest and back extensions, detachable fastening means carried by said extensions, and draw-strings
